What is the best way to define project goals with a mobile designer?
Start by clearly writing down what you want your app to do. Think about the look and feel, and how users will interact with it. Share detailed examples and discuss them with your designer to ensure everyone is on the same page.
How can I ensure the designer understands my brand's style?
Share your brand's style guide, including colors, fonts, and any icons or images you use. If you have previous design work, like some old logos or website links, send those too. Have a talk with the designer about your brand's story and values.
What should be included in the project timeline?
Include key milestones, such as design drafts, feedback sessions, and final deliverables. Set dates for each task to track progress. Make sure there's time for testing and any unexpected changes.
What deliverables should I ask for from a mobile designer?
Ask for a detailed design wireframe, visual mockups, and a finalized prototype. Make sure files are shared in a format that's easy for your developers to use. Request a style guide so future updates match the current app design.
Is it important to discuss the design review process?
Yes, it's very important. Decide on how you will give feedback, and how quick responses should be. Schedule regular check-ins to discuss the design's progress and make necessary adjustments.
How can I ensure we stay within project scope?
Start with a clear agreement outlining all expectations. Stick to the original plan and keep any ideas for changes in a separate list. Review the project scope regularly with the designer to stay aligned.
How should I handle communication preferences with the designer?
Discuss and agree on preferred communication methods and frequency, like using email, chat apps, or video calls. Schedule regular updates to stay informed. In São Paulo, consider time zones to find the best times for communication.
Are there specific considerations for hiring a designer in São Paulo?
Yes, consider the local design trends and cultural preferences in São Paulo. It's also useful to understand legal requirements for hiring freelancers in Brazil. Building a local network can be helpful for long-term success.
What should I prepare before the project officially starts?
Prepare all the resources and access the designer will need, like app sketches, branding elements, or software logins. Having these ready can speed up the process. Make sure your objectives and timeline are finalized before the kickoff.
How can I make feedback constructive during the project?
Be clear and specific about what works and what doesn’t. Focus on solutions rather than problems. Encourage two-way communication where the designer can also share insights and ideas.
